Does anyone have any advice for the writing assignment? I just got it and I’m not sure what angle to take here haha. I know they say there’s no correct answers though

I think I was told not to overthink it too much and just write whatever comes to mind (it has to look and sound good ofc) because its just an interview day activity and not a huge deal but correct me if im wrong.
 
Do they only let you know if you’re accepted or do they tell you of rejections as well through the portal?
 
Early February interview, surprisingly also no news 🙁
 
It seems to me that they are doing only a few acceptances at a time. hard to tell based only on this thread but maybe like 30-50 at a time? but also just complete guess based on desperation
Yeah I wish they'd just release the decisions. This is really hard. I thought the "big decision day" would be sometimes nowadays.
 
The fact that no more September interviewers got an A makes me worried that downstate has already made a decision for us…
 
Does anyone know anything about waitlist movements in this school? I dont have a decision yet but if history's any indication....

Might have been answered already but is there a dress code for the student interview?
 
For MD-MPH applicants -- got an A in my portal earlier today for the MPH program. I interviewed earlier this week w/ downstate so the MD decision is def still pending lol.
 
Would it be too much/neurotic if I called them and asked when they are going to release decisions? 🥲🥲🥲
 
Has anyone who responded to the “Requesting Confirmation of Interview Interest” email had any luck getting an interview?
 
For about a good 20 minutes I thought they accepted me to the MD program. Then something told me to reread the email and ofc it’s for the mph program LMFAOO does no one else find that so cruel like babes I’m a MD/MPH candidate. Shouldn’t the MD admissions come first
 
I wonder if there won't be a big wave of A until the CYMS tool opens...or maybe they are no longer doing it like in past years

Honestly id be happy if they released a bunch of decisions next week/after 21st. As long as they don't make me wait until April :/

Has the wave coincided w/ the CYMS opening in previous years?
 
I think someone earlier on this thread said the wave was Feb 23rd last year. Does CYMS always open on Feb 21st?
This year it says the 19th so that would be Sunday, and in past years it has been more or less around that date.
